First Lady Discharged from German Hospital

Barely twenty-four hours after fresh rumours hit the media about the state of health of the First Lady Dame Patience Jonathan, claiming the she is suffering from uterine cancer, the Vanguard is categorically claiming that the First Lady has been discharged from the Horst Schmidt Klinik in Wiesbaden, Germany, where it was believed that she had been for about a month.

The newspaper, however, is still unable to disclose the nature of the ailment for which she had been receiving treatment. However, according to the Vanguard, she reportedly left the hospital two days ago. They also claimed that doctors at the Horst Schmidt Klinik in Wiesbaden last week were reported to have told the media they had been in touch with Nigerian officials on Patience’s condition.

According to one of the doctors, who they claimed, spoke on condition of anonymity, “They wanted us to discharge Mrs. Patience Jonathan but we have notified the Nigerian government through its embassy here that we will not be able to discharge our patient at this time because her situation is not stable… We still need to monitor her very well before we can ask her to proceed on any long-distance trip.”

This seems to correlate with news that emerged in the media about the same time, that the First Lady would be accompanying the President on his trip to the USA, and that she would be back in the country in time for the Independence Day celebrations. Well, we do hope this one is true, and congratulations to the First Family.
